As we enjoy our Thanksgiving Day and eat our turkey and watch football on TV and crawl into bed with full stomachs and joyful hearts ... we should take a moment to thank our countrymen overseas in the Armed Forces who play so huge a part in securing these God-given blessings.
Thank you, God, for those people.
God gives freedom, and we have to secure it. That's what I wrote above.
I don't understand how that makes sense. If freedom is a gift from God, how could it be taken away by anyone but God? The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away, says the Bible.
Never mind, I'm just playin' with you. There isn't really any sensical way to relate God and freedom.
Is freedom not free, or is it a gift from God? I can never keep it straight.
But good luck to our servicepeople.
